THREE DAYS?
Koo Mujin was shocked when his parents said that he was in a comatose state for three days.
But even if he was asleep for that long, his body felt fine.
Well, he felt a bit stiff.
But he immediately retrieved his motor skills.
"The doctors said it's all thanks to your superior genes as an Alpha," his father explained when Koo Mujin explained his shock that he could move and talk again as if he had just fallen asleep for a little longer than usual. "Well, it's a known fact that Alphas heal and recover faster than Betas and Omegas."
Right.
But Koo Mujin couldn't care less about that at the moment.
"Abeoji, Eomma, where's Lee Haneum? Is he safe?"
"He is safe," his father answered. "He went home yesterday after he got discharged from the hospital."
Koo Mujin let out a gasp. "But his home isn't safe…"
"We've already taken care of that, son," his mother assured him. "We offered to provide an apartment to Haneum, but he politely declined. He said his friend, Kim Jaehan, offered to let him live with him in the meantime. To make sure that he's safe, we assigned bodyguards who'll keep him safe in a distance."
That was a huge relief.
"Thank you, Eomma," Koo Mujin said, closing his eyes as his strength left his body. "I'm feeling sleepy again…"
"Then sleep," his mother said. "You need as much rest as you can."

KOO MUJIN expected to be sent to the same white room again.
After all, his conversation with the System wasn't done yet.
They promised me a reward, but then they suddenly went radio silent on me!
Hence, he was determined to scold the System.
But he wasn't sent to the same white room.
Instead, he found himself in the real world— in the room where the comatose Koo Mujin and Lee Haneum were confined.
And, just like the first time, he saw his son looking after them.
Koo Mujin's heart broke for Koo Hajin.
His son looked calm now, but still brokenhearted, nevertheless.
"I'm sorry for making you worry about us, son," Koo Mujin said in a sad voice. "I promise I'm doing my best to return to you— me and your appa, of course."
He wanted to comfort his son.
So, even if Koo Mujin knew his hand would just pass through Koo Hajin's shoulder, he still patted his son…
… and he succeeded.
Wait, what?
Koo Mujin's eyes widened in shock when not only did he able to touch his son, but also when Koo Hajin turned to him and looked at him straight in the eye.
Yes, his son could see him now.
"Abeoji?" Koo Hajin asked in disbelief, his eyes widening in shock. "But how…?"
Koo Mujin raised his hands as if his son was a hot potato that he suddenly dropped.
He wanted to give an explanation, any lame excuse like saying that it was just a dream.
However, the ground suddenly shook hard.
And Koo Hajin stumbled because of that.
"Hajin-ah!"
Naturally, Koo Mujin ran towards Koo Hajin and pulled his son by the arm…
… and then a blinding light suddenly forced him to close his eyes.
Then everything went black.
What happened?
***
"SON, who's that kid?"
Koo Mujin was confused by his mother's question.
And when he looked at his arm that suddenly went numb, he was shocked to see Koo Hajin sleeping in his arm.
He was confused as hell.
Am I in the dream world, or is this the reality now?
